Nepenthes Bill Bailey BE3820
Tropical Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes sp.) Care
- Best to use only pure water – rainwater, distilled water or RO water. Be careful of bottled water as some contain salt which will kill your Tropical Pitcher plant
- Keep a small amount of pure water in each trap. Mist plants regularly.
- Keep soil moist; but well drained at all times. Do Not let your Nepenthes sit in water
- Nepenthes like partial sunny location. They grow well on windowsills or under fluorescent lights in a terrarium.
- Soil is mixture 3 parts long fiber sphagnum with 1 part pearlite or 1 part fine orchid bark.
- Fertilize Nepenthes with foliar fertilizer. ¼ tsp of Maxsea per gallon of water, 2 times a month
- Nepenthes like to grow warm: above 50 degrees. Ideal is 65 to 80 degrees with high humidity.

I received this Nepenthes Bill Bailey’ several days ago with another two nepenthes. It came with a lot of pitchers in full shape (6 of them), very beautiful, healthy plants and very good packaging, too. Specially the customer service is the best. Thank you for everything. I just ordered one more. Loved it.

I had a few questions about the details of the plant, so I contacted the company. They were extremely customer friendly, and answered my questions completely and thoroughly.
The plant was packaged very well for a plant, and arrived in excellent condition. The leaves were green and there were 5 healthy traps.
The average size of the plant is medium. Each matured trap measures to be around 3” in height. This company ensures quality and quantity. I would buy again!

I have to admit, I was nervous about this order for several reasons! It’s my first time ordering from Bergen, I somehow managed to input the wrong state for my delivery address, and when I frantically emailed with my correct address, my email account didn’t trust the source with my personal info! That said, I ordered these plants late Monday night (possibly early Tuesday morning!) and they appeared on my doorstep late Thursday morning – FAST shipping, and I’ve ordered pitcher plants from 2 other places in the last 2 weeks that still haven’t arrived! The plants I received from Bergen were nice and big, with several healthy pitchers, and they were packaged with absolute care. I am thrilled! 5/5 for everything from the quality of the plant to the incredible shipping speed! Will absolutely order from Bergen again!
